Guwahati: Senior Raijor Dal leader and spokesperson Bhaben Handique announced his resignation from the party in a lengthy statement on social media on Tuesday.
Handique held that post as the party’s state secretary. He served as both the party’s RTI cell’s and leadership committee’s convener.
The senior leader resigned from both his general party membership and his organisational duties.
In a long post on Facebook, Handique mentioned that his role in the party had become stagnant, leaving him frustrated for a long time.
He wrote, “I am not able to continue like this anymore. For the last few months I have been under a lot of mental stress. I lost my way around and nothing new was happening in my life.”
“After months of carrying on like that, I have been left with very low levels of self-confidence. We have a responsibility towards the people and at times, we have turned our backs to them,” wrote Handique.
The leader also mentioned that he had thought about this decision for a long time, however, it never came to fruition. This time though, his decision will remain final, he said.
